10 Scary Facts Indicating South Africa Is Becoming The Next Venezuela
The Federalist ^ | 22 Feb 2019 | Anonymous

Posted on 02/23/2019 5:53:48 AM PST by Rummyfan

It has been a quarter-century since South Africans of all colors and creeds lined up with each other to patiently wait their turn to vote for their first government that was not dependent on brutal racial engineering.

In 1994 the country was a coiled spring ready to unleash enormous latent economic and human potential. As South West Africa became Namibia and the legal edifices of apartheid were swept away, South Africa suddenly had the opportunities and goodwill that had been denied it for the better part of 30 years.

All that promise is gone. South Africa has squandered its opportunities and is on the path to becoming a failed state. These are the top ten reasons, in no particular order, why South Africa is becoming the next Venezuela.

Not really true. Mandela was genuinely benevolent.

Well, that's a matter of opinion - but, for the sake of discussion, let's accept your premise.

Mandela was benevolent. Mandela was a man. All men die.

Subtract Mandela (by natural means) and what do you have? A country with 91% blacks who envy the 9% whites, who have an existence typical of white people all over the world, wherever they reside.

What do you suppose is going to happen?

Yes, if Mandela was Malema it would have happened faster, and if Mandela was cloned, it might take longer - but change the outcome?

Don't be ridiculous.

Corruption. It’s what invariably happens when a few people are given too much power. Look at any of the 3rd-world countries and you see the same thing. That is one of the reasons why the Founding fathers divided up the power in so many ways - to prevent greedy people from accumulating power. Even if a nation starts well with a benign dominating ruler, if it continues to concentrate its political power, it will inevitably attract greedy people who want to dominate others.

I think you’re confusing Nelson with the crazy wife he divorced, Winnie. She was into “necklacing”. He wasn’t.

He was a Marxist.

Yes Winnie Man-poo was worse. Eff all Marxists.

But The Sud African Afrikaners should never have bought cheap labor from the more northern African nations. Then treat them like subhumans.

This didn’t work out good for the whites in southern America after slavery and it didn’t work out well for the Sud-African Afrikaners.

(I spell as it’s pronounced)

But you only have to score 20% in mathematics. Perhaps rounding is too complex.

Mandela was a murdering psychopath. He was also the handmaiden of powerful forces. Explain how he was able to travel to the UN while still serving a sentence in prison. How did he get a University degree?

In short, the Dutch OWNED that land SA was built upon. The Black and Indian workers were imported, but not allowed to be citizens, hence them living in their own areas. They came for jobs, and stayed to take over. Very similar to what the Mexicans/Latinos/Central Americans will do in the USA.

What was wrong with Apartheid? The SA government kept these primitive tribesmen from killing one another, used them for work for which they willingly took pay, and provided some access to a 1st world country to boot.

It was the country that the Dutch built on unoccupied African land. The only sparse inhabitants were the bushman, who have long now been chased away or slaughtered. The blacks in SA today, have no link to the land but what the White Afrikaaners drew them to when they were in need of a job. Really similar to what the Mexicans provide for the US.

South Africa’s problems aren’t racial. The ANC is the problem.

Zulus and non-ANC are fine.
